Significant role in making the workers’ compensation laws

Mr. Mills serves as one of only five attorneys on the State Bar of Nevada, Board of Workers’ Compensation Legal Specialization. The board created and administers a state bar certification and testing system for attorney specialization in workers’ compensation law. Mr. Mills played a significant role in making the workers’ compensation laws in Nevada more favorable to injured workers.

When you are injured or develop a medical condition after a workplace accident or exposure, you have the right to obtain medical treatment. Workers’ comp benefits will pay for emergency room care, hospital stays, diagnostic tests related to the injury, doctor and specialist visits, rehabilitation treatment, and sometimes even transportation costs to and from your appointments.

Vocational rehabilitation

When your injury is so severe that you are unable to return to your regular job, you may be entitled to benefits that pay for vocational rehabilitation. Services may include vocational counseling, training or retraining, and job placement to help you return to the workforce.

You May Be Eligible for the Following Workers’ Compensation Benefits

If you are injured during the course of your employment in Las Vegas, you may be eligible to receive a weekly check from your employer’s insurer to cover part of your lost wages. In addition to lost income, you may also be entitled to the following workers’ compensation benefits.

Payment to dependents in the event of death

When a worker is killed on the job, workers’ comp insurance will typically pay for burial expenses. Additionally, qualifying family members may be entitled to survivors benefits including 66 ⅔ of the worker’s average monthly wage to be paid until the death of the surviving spouse.

Lifetime re-opening

In Nevada, injured workers can reopen their work injury claims at any time throughout their lives if they can show that their injuries or illnesses have worsened. Work injury claims are typically grouped into four categories: Permanent Total Disability (PTD), Permanent Partial Disability (PPD), Temporary Total Disability (TTD), and Temporary Partial Disability (TPD). The type and severity of an injury or condition determines the category into which the claim is placed.

Our Story

Nevada Firefighters and Police

There are special workers’ compensation laws that apply to firefighters and police. These laws, also technical in nature, often make it easier to qualify for benefits. Limited benefits may be obtained even after the firefighter or police employee has retired. Mr. Mills has recovered millions of dollars on behalf of injured Nevada firefighters and police.
